Kooyong, Ferrous Pinot Noir, 2021 (Case)
Comparatively open for Ferrous, the 2018 vintage shows typical floral notes of violet and rose together with earthier tones of beetroot, brown spice and subtle whole-bunch influence. The trademark rust and iron quality float in and out providing complexity and engagement. Medium-bodied, yet naturally powerful, the palate is full of intense red berry flavour together with a line of dusty tannin that helps drive and support. Blood orange and a vibrant berry flavour enhance the long and compelling finish. Showing modestly now, Ferrous demands cellaring to fully show its potential.
